RRAI’s AutoDrive® vehicle autonomy tackles the defense industry’s toughest autonomy challenges on the battlefield.

RRAI has developed, hardened, and scaled vehicle-agnostic self-driving systems able to navigate in rough, uneven terrain, in poor weather, without GPS, and without infrastructure. RRAI delivers autonomous vehicle capability that works in unstructured environments, above or below ground, to ensure warfighters operate with maximum situational awareness, mobility, and agility.

AutoDrive is a fully integrated vehicle autonomy platform – designed around MOSA and open architecture fundamentals to enable the Government and industry to develop and deploy their own autonomy modules on top of the system. It is built on an autonomy software ecosystem common to government software efforts. AutoDrive is purpose-built to permit ease-of-use and routine upgrades. The system possesses the kind of flexibility necessary for the integration of other sources of hardware and software. Far from a proprietary “vendor lock,” AutoDrive is the kind of flexible software solution ideal for dynamic and rapid innovation efforts.         

By thinking differently about mission challenges, we design and implement solutions that improve the efficiency of logistics, enhance situational awareness, and save lives by extending the warfighter’s reach.

RRAI has automated more than two dozen DOD vehicle platforms. This includes the world’s largest fleet of fully uncrewed trucks, the Palletized Load System (PLS) resupply vehicle designed for long-range transport and unit resupply automated under the Expedient Leader-Follower (ExLF) program, as well as the Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport (SMET), a force-multiplier designed to carry a variety of payloads, up to nine soldiers’ worth of equipment, for 60 miles.
